This book aims to present a summary of research approaches developed,
and even current, on two of the themes that since the 1980s aroused my
interest, as an artist with synaesthesia, engraving and stamping systems,
painter and video artist, but mainly as a researcher teacher at the Faculty of
Fine Arts of the University of Granada from the 2007/08 academic year,
applying the concept of synaesthesia and ideaetheia in my teaching, to
enhance creative abilities (teaching innovation projects and experimental
workshops), as well as the survey path about possible synesthetes among
university students, started in the Faculty of Educational Sciences of the
University of Granada in 2006, Faculty of Psychology of the University of
Granada, and in other Educational Centers and Universities of Spain (they
are still being carried out at present) . Research projects whose approaches
have been revised, sometimes continuously redesigned.
The results and conclusions have been disseminated in specialized editions
and also in other countries, since 2005, through articles and participation in
international congresses, which have aroused interest in other national and
international teachers. Reason why I also decided to publish this book, so
that it serves as support to other educational researchers who want to apply
the resources created for research on synesthesia, and innovative
educational methods
The work was presented in the year 2017 in the University of Granada for
the defense of my position of University Holder.
With the hope that it will inspire or support other researchers and / or
awaken interest, I greet potential readers and publicly express my
gratitude to each and every one of the collaborators (research members of
the international foundation artecittà) I have had and have worked with
me throughout all of these years. Mª José de Córdoba
